SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 713,397, dated November11, 1902.

Application filed April 14, 1902.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM E. CHANDLER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Elcampo, in the county of lVharton, State of Texas, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil-Burners; and I dohereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descriptionof the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichit appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to oil-burners; and it has for its object toprovide a construction in which steam will be admitted to the oil orcommingled therewith in sufficient quantity to aid combustion, a furtherobject of the invention being to provide means for regulating theproportions of steam and to provide for governing the quantity of bothsteam and oil fed to the fire tank or pan.

In the drawings forming a portion of this specification, and in whichlike numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views,Figure 1 is a view showing the boiler in longitudinal section andshowing in elevation the pipes, supply-tanks, and other portions of theapparatus. Fig. 2 is a transverse section on line 2 2 of Fig. 1.

Referring now to the drawings, there is shown a boiler 5, havingsteam-domes 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, while below the boiler is arranged thefire-pan 11, in which the oil is received and in which it is burned.

A water-supply tank 12 is provided and has a spigot 13, by means ofwhich the water is regulated in its flow to the funnel 14 at the end ofthe water-supply pipe 15, which leads into the boiler, and is providedwith a regulating and cut-off valve 16.

An oil-supply tank 17 is provided and has connected therewith anoil-pipe 18, which leads downwardly through the top of the steam-dome 8and thence through the boiler 5 and terminates in the pan 11, thisoil-pipe having a globe-valve 19 to regulate the flow of oiltherethrough and having also a gageglass 20 in its side, through whichthe interior of the pipe may be seen to determine when the oil isflowing properly.

Passed vertically through the boiler are steam-pipes 21, 22, 23, and24:, the upper ends of which are in the domes 6, 7, 9, and 10,respectively, while the lower ends of the pipes 'berial No. 102,870- (Nomodel.)

extend into the fire-pan and below the surface of the oil contained inthe pan, so that steam may pass from the boiler below the surface of theoil and may rise with the gases from the oil to aid combustion, it beingunderstood that the burning oil in the pan heats the boiler to supplythe steam.

Connected with the oil-pipe 18 is a pipe 25, which extendslongitudinally of the boiler and slightly above the plane of the upperends of the domes, the pipes 18 and 25 being trunkpipes, and from thepipe 25 extend pipes 26, 27, 29, and 30, which are passed through theupper ends of the domes 6, 7, 9, and 10 above the steam-pipes abovereferred to.

The openings in the sides of the domes through which the oil-pipes arepassed outwardly from the domes are of greater diameter than saidpipes,and engaged with these openings are the steam-outlet pipes 31, 32,33, and 34, into which the branch oil-pipes open, said steam-outletpipes passing downwardly to the fire-pan and having regulatingglobevalves 35, while the branch pipes at the 0pposite sides of thedomes have regulatingvalves 36. An additional branch pipe 37 is providedfor the pipe 25 and passes through the dome 8 at one side of the pipe18, and this pipe 37 opens into a steam-outlet pipe 38, corresponding tothe pipe 32 and having also a valve 35 for regulating the flowtherethrough. In this construction the oil and steam mix in thesteam-supply pipes, so that the oil and steam pass to the fire-pan in amixed condition.

In practice the pipe 25, with its branches and the steam-supply pipesinto which the branches open, may be omitted and other modifications maybe made. Also any suitable materials and proportions may be used for thevarious parts without departing from the spirit of the invention.

What is claimed is- 1. In a burner,the combination with aboiler and afire-pan therebelow, said boiler having steam-domes, of steam-supplypipes leading from the domes through the boiler to the firepan, anoil-tank and an oil-supply pipe leading from the oil-tank through theboiler to the fire-pan.

2. In a burner,the combination-with a boiler and a fire-pan arrangedtherebelow, said boiler having steam-domes, of an oil-supply tank nameddomes and into the last-named steamhaving a pipe leading through a, domeand the pipes to mix with the steam therein. 10 boiler to the fire-pan,steam-supply pipes lead- In testimony whereof I aifix my signature ingfrom the remaining domes through the in presence of two Witnesses.

5 boiler to the fire-pan, steam-supply pipeslead- WILLIAM E. CHANDLER.

ing from the last-named domes exteriorly of Witnesses: the boiler to thefire-pan, and branch pipes TOM UNDERWOOD,
